The sound of white Lyrics

Lyric discussion by LoveThyEnemy 

Cover art for The sound of white lyrics by Missy Higgins

i totally agree with lauraloo except that i think its about losing someone close in that they died. the line "If things get real for me down here.." sort of alluded me to this meaning of the song. i always thought it was a beautiful song but i only just listened to it properly and came up with that idea. and i reckon that it ties in completely with all that lauraloo has said above this. i think the sound of white is a metaphor for someone's spirit.
